THAM KHAO LUANG (Khaoluang Cave) by Vanseven Co.,Ltd THAM KHAO LUANG (Khaoluang Cave) By Vanseven Co.,Ltd. ATTRACTION DETAILS Located approximately five kilometers from Khao Wang, this cave is regarded as the largest and the most beautiful cave in Phetchaburi. Apart from beautiful stalactites, the large hole on the ceiling allows the plenty of lights down to the cave floor creates the stunning scene in the cave. This cave also houses a Buddha image cast under the royal command of King Rama V as a dedication to King Rama III and King Rama IV. At the foot of KhaoLuang Hill, there is a large monastery locally known as Wat Tham Klaep or Wat Bun-thawi. Attractions within the compound are a large multi-purpose hall and a ordination hall laden with beautifully carved door panels. Santorini Park Cha-Am By Vanseven Co.,Ltd. SANTORINI PARK CHA-AM is administered by Ms. Nasvera Tantichirasakul, the progeny of Mr. Supoj Tantichirasakul, the owner of the Premium Outlet Cha-Am, with the position of Managing Director of Theme Plaza Development Company Limited, a subsidiary of the Pena Group Public Company Limited, which has successfully operated a variety of retail ventures across Thailand for over 30 years. Pena started in the retail fashion business. We recognized that there were many types of retail with potential in the market. Hua Hin – Cha Am is a tourist destination, but to meet tourists’ requirements, there should also be some activities. Retail certainly means selling, but it is not only shopping. Thrill rides are the amusement that we have selected and added for the whole family. These are the tangible objects. For abstract ideas, marketing activities will be held continuously in the project. Atmosphere is very important; our concept relies on current trends of high technology. These days, people like to take and share photos online. So our concept here is that every inch of space should be beautiful for photography. Everybody would feel happy as a part of atmosphere, so we invested quite a lot on the architecture and sculpture. The idea of bedecking buildings in blue as the Santorini style in Greece also came from Mr. Supoj. Though this land is not adjacent to the sea, Hua Hin-Cha Am is considered a city by the sea. So we thought of an island city which is famous and has its own character, and the answer is Santorini. This is because when we see the architecture of this island, we know where it is. Since Santorini is the island city, there must be water. That’s why there are many things here related to water, such as man-made waterfalls, dancing fountains, water balls for children, and green areas. The atmosphere inside is thus very enjoyable.

  • The Royal Intention to Produce Works of Art in King Vajiravudh’S Reign
    THE ROYAL INTENTION TO PRODUCE WORKS OF ART IN KING VAJIRAVUDH’S REIGN Nuaon Khrouthongkhieo Art Education Program, Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, Suan Dusit University, Bangkok 10300, Thailand Corresponding author: [email protected] Received: July 24, 2018; Revised: November 6, 2019; Accepted: December 9, 2019 Abstract The aim of this research is to study: 1) the influence of local and global contexts on artists’ creations 2) artistic patterns created in the reign of King Vajiravudh 3) King Vajiravudh’s own intentions. The research uses historical research approaches, which are as follow: 1) Study primary and secondary documents related to the context of art during the reign of King Vajiravudh, such as the writings involving royal histories and the analysis of royal art in both concept and style. 2) Select the works of art that were created according to His Majesty's wishes and the royal initiative of King Vajiravudh. 3) Analyze and synthesize information about the artistic architectures and objects with the information from documents. The research concludes that artists’ creations during King Vajiravudh’s period were impacted by the lack of solidarity among Thai citizens and globally by conflicts regarding the denial of monarchy, the dissemination of socialism and democracy, and the First World War. Artistic patterns preferred by King Vajiravudh included Thai traditional art, western art, and the combination of Thai and western art. King Vajiravudh’s intentions in making art works were to conceptualize memories through the making of “Monuments”, to conduct nationalism, and to preserve, direct and create a Thai identity. The conclusions were based on the context during King Vajiravudh’s succession period when he confronted the lack of solidarity among people in the country.

  • The Renowned Route of Heritage: from Bangkok to Hua
    RSU International Research Conference 2019 https://rsucon.rsu.ac.th/proceedings 26 April 2019 The Renowned Route of Heritage: from Bangkok to Hua Hin Pumin Varavarn. College of Tourism and Hospitality, Rangsit University *Corresponding author, E-mail: [email protected] ________________________________________________________________________________________________ Abstract This study is the documentary research. The main objective of this research is to address that the route to Hua Hin is a renowned route of heritage depicting an abstract of value from the past that cannot be obliterated with tangible and intangible senses. From the documentary research and the interviews from every sample, detailed descriptions of revered places, temples, and parks have been presented in this study. Thus, it goes without saying that the route has been considered as spaces of varieties forming great memorable experiences--both tangible and intangible experiences-- for tourists from the tourist destinations along this route. The tangible senses are palaces, temples, and the natural beauty of beaches and mountains while intangible senses are sacred spaces of worship and respect and the local way of life. Things were deemed a cost when the image of tangible subjects could be sold as souvenirs while the power of the intangible past could not be sold but respected because the cost and value are two different things. This route to Hua Hin has been depicting its heritage and varieties of get-away tourist destinations and bearing on the tradition for years. The route, therefore, is portraying the pride of Thai heritage. Keywords: heritage, sacred spaces, tangible, intangible, tourism destination 1. Introduction The route to Hua-Hin begins from the West of Bangkok on Rama II Road heading south along Phet Kasem Road passing Amphawa, Samut Songkhram Province leading to Phetchaburi Province before reaching Hua Hin in Prachuap Khiri Khan Province with a total of 200 kilometers.

Therefore, there are different types of residence to be called according to the Thai tradition. The Grand Palace The Grand Palace was built in the time Krung Rattanakosin was established.
